Abstract

Bracket (1) containing a gear train holds the end of spring (19) wound in a direction to be opened when the bracket moves up from the paper tray (7). Spring (19) is wound on an arbor (15) which is mounted on a shaft (9) which is located on the pivot axis of the bracket. Spring (17) is wound on a second part of the arbor in a direction to be closed when the bracket moves away from the tray. Spring (19) has a much tighter grip on the arbor than spring (17). In operation the bracket resists upward movement under the influence of stiff paper being fed, and is slowed in its downward movement to reduce bounce, which increases the speed at which a second sheet can be fed.

Description of the Invention (1) Technical Scope The present invention relates to a feeder for paper and other media having a pickup roller mounted on the arm and the The bounce damping effect. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION US Patent 5,527,026 to Padget et al., Assignee of the present invention, describes a paper feed mechanism in which each pickup roller is driven by a gear train mounted on an arm, and the arm can surround the driven gear of the gear train The center of it is free to pivot. This—the structure automatically applies a gradually increasing force to the pick-up roller, and when the pick-up roller moves, the downward pressure is automatically released at this time. With the above structure, the 'heavy paper' lifts the gear train when being fed, which causes the gear train to fall under the influence of gravity when the paper or other medium leaves the driving roller. This situation causes the drive rollers and thus the gear train to bounce and slow down the guilty operation. The present invention relates to a damping mechanism that greatly increases the lifting movement and slows down falling on the paper stack. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, 'a bracket having a pickup gear train fixed to an end portion of a first spring', the first spring is wound in a direction in which the bracket is opened when the bracket is removed from the media tray. This spring is wound on the first-cylindrical portion of the core material and the mandrel is mounted to rotate on a shaft located on the pivot axis of the gear train. The second spring is wound around the second cylindrical portion of the mandrel in the closing direction when the bracket is removed from the media tray. The end of the second spring is fixed to the fixed frame. The first spring has a much tighter to the mandrel than the second spring. Holding power. Known: When the driven gear of the drive train is manipulated so that the pickup roller abuts against the top of the media stack to pick up the paper, the downward movement is the smallest, and the second paper size of the yellow paper is applicable to Chinese national standards_ (CNS) A4 specifications (2 丨 0X297) Chu 11111 IIIII I! 1% (please read the notes on the back before filling this page) 4228 0 9 Α7 Β7 5. The friction of the invention description (2) is also low, 纟The effects of the first and second springs are not significant. When the paper is removed from the stack, the downward force of the gear train is automatically released. The tooth π causes the second spring to entangle the mandrel ′, thereby grasping the mandrel and rotating the two shafts with the rotation of the gear train. If the paper is stiff, upward force is added to the gear train, but the upward movement is resisted by the high friction force of the first spring, which limits its upward movement. This situation allows the medium to move more smoothly away. After this upward movement, the 'gear train has no support as the medium moves through the drive roller. Then the gear train will return to the disk under the influence of gravity and move the spring to the mandrel 'so that it grasps the mandrel and rotates the mandrel with the rotation of the gear train. This downward movement opens the grasp of the mandrel by the second ridge ' to allow the mandrel to slide on the second spring. In the specific example disclosed in the present invention, the light friction grip of the second spring on the mandrel produces a relatively low frictional force. This lower frictional force moderately dampens downward movement and reduces bouncing. Low friction is advantageous because the gear train is also counterbalanced by a spring. The drive roller is therefore much more powerful than the medium that drives the rapid fall if the bounce is not damped. When the downward friction force is not obvious, a separate spring wound around a fixed shaft may be used, and as described in the first spring, it will be tightly loosened and function when it moves upward.

Description of the invention (4) 33 Driving gear 35 Gear 37 Gear 39 Gear 41 Gear The best mode for implementing the invention is shown in Figure 1, which includes a bracket for a gear train (shown in Figure 5) !! Driven symmetrical driving rollers 3a, 3b. The driving rollers 3a, 3b are in contact with a stack of paper or other media 5 and the top sheet 5 is located on a flat disk 7. The disk 7 may be fixed or may be raised to accommodate a large stack of media 5. The mounting of the bracket 1 enables pivoting of the driven gear, as described in the aforementioned U.S. Patent 5,527,026. The shaft 9 is mounted in the fixed frame η and is coaxial with the pivot point of the bracket [. The coil spring 13 is connected between the bracket 1 and the frame 11 to provide an upward balance force to the bracket i. However, the balance does not overcome gravity. Therefore, the sister of the bracket 1 is constructed by the spring 13 The acceleration resulting from the reduction in force drops until the rollers 3a, 3b encounter the paper 5. The disassembly shown in Fig. 1 shows a heart pump 15, the mandrel has a spring 19 that is always wound on the side close to the bracket 1, and a spring 17 that is wound on the side away from the bracket 1. As clearly shown in FIG. 2, one end of the spring 19 is fixed to the extension portion la of the bracket 1, and one end of the spring 17 is fixed to the frame 11 a. FIG. 2 shows a motor 21 attached to the frame 11 and the motor 21 drives the bracket. The gear train in Frame 1 is a series of gears (only gears 23 and 25 are shown). FIG. 3 shows the heart sleeve 15 and the springs 17 and 19 mounted on it in detail in an exploded relationship. The mandrel 15 has a central hole that is close to but does not fit tightly to accommodate the shaft 9. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 male f) -------- ΐ 衣 ----- -、 1Τ ------- ^ (Read the notes on the back first and then fill out this page) Α7 422θ〇9 Β7 5. Description of the invention (5) 15a. The mandrel 15 has a left cylindrical portion 15b, a right cylindrical portion 15c, and a center ridge line i5d. In this specific example, the cylindrical portions 15b and 15c have the same diameter. The springs 17 and 19 in this specific example are of the same material and section. However, the spring 17 is loosely fixed by the portion 15c (specifically, the outer diameter of the heart pumping portion 15c is 14.17 mm, and the inner diameter of the spring 7 is 14.08 mm). The spring 19 is far tightly fixed by the portion 15b (specifically, the outer diameter of the mandrel portion 15c is also 14.17 mm and the inner diameter of the spring I7 is 13.75 mm). FIG. 4 is a bottom view showing the assembly when the carriage 1 is moved upward from the medium 5. This situation tends to occur when feeding hard paper or other media. During the feeding process, the 'feed media 5' is held by a tray 丨 downstream feed roller or other similar device (not shown), and fully applied. The moving force is on the medium 5 to lift the tray 1 upward. Comparing FIG. 1 with FIG. 5 shows that the spring 19 is released to the position of FIG. 4 due to the upward movement. The upward movement tightens the spring Π 'in the manner of a standard spring clutch to move the mandrel 15 with the carriage 1. The loosening effect of the spring 19 causes the spring 19 to slide around the mandrel, and because the spring 19 is tightly wound around the mandrel 5, the frictional force is high. The carriage 1 is moved upward 'but in an amount restricted by the frictional force of the spring 19. When the medium 5 is moved, the 'bracket 丨 will be fixed by the medium 5, and then the bracket 1 will be moved down to the disc 7 under the influence of gravity. This movement will tighten the spring according to the standard elastic yellow clutch. The tight spring 19 will grip the mandrel 15 and force it to rotate with the carriage 1. The spring 17 is lightly wound on the mandrel 15. The frictional resistance of the spring 17 on the mandrel 15 will be moderate ', so that the movement of the carriage 1 is damped, and the time for the carriage I to settle is shortened, while another medium 5 can be fed at the same time. Moderate friction is suitable, because the bracket 1 is balanced by the spring π, and -8- _________________________ This paper size coffee towels I: material (CNS) M specifications (210X ^ 7 mm) ( Please read the precautions on the back and fill in this education first) Pack.

Description of the invention (6) Spring 13 is also postponed The carriage 1 moves downward. Fig. 5 shows the gears in the bracket 1 after the side wall is removed-the side wall. The driven gear 31 is driven by a motor 21 via a gear 25, and is mounted on the shaft 9 in a journal manner. The gear train includes a gear 3 丨 that drives a gear 汩. The gear phantom drives the gear 35. The gear 35 drives the gear 37. The gear 37 drives the gear 39 and the gear 39 drives the gear 41, and the gear 41 drives the rollers 3a and 3b. (Rolls 3a and 3b are driven through a one-way clutch to 'freely move when the downstream roll moves the medium 5 at a higher speed than the driven speed of the rolls 3a and 3b.' The diameter of each part of the mandrel 15 may be different, or the composition or cross-section of the springs 17 and 19 may be different. Due to the basic design characteristics, the spring Π provides (limits) the sufficient friction of the downward movement of the gear train and the spring 丨 9 Provide obvious friction to limit the upward movement of the gear train. At the same time, when the springs 7 and 19 are entangled, they should effectively hold and rotate the heart pump 15. It will also be clear that if the downward limiting effect of the spring 17 is deemed unnecessary, the spring 17 may be replaced by a one-way ratchet mechanism. The ends of the springs 17 and 19 can also be tightly wound around the fixed extension instead of having the spring ends in the holes.
